On the second night, the Pure Flavor House was still full of aroma and diners. Haruna was wearing blue cooking clothes and a white headscarf and bowed deeply at the door: "Two guests, there are so many people inside that we can't serve you in. We are sorry!"
Yutaka frowned slightly and looked in from the curtain. He found that the door was ssemi-closed and there were not many people visible, so he said, "I am a regular customer. Just give me two additional seats."
Haruna bowed deeply again, "The house is full of bulls, we really can't serve you!" Before him, there were five or six people already added seats, and some were even sharing tables. The individual guests were almost crowded into the kitchen to cook with Kazuya.
Yutaka felt a little impatient. He was the first diner to come on the first day Kazuya took charge of the kitchen. He couldn't forget that taste after eating the Buddha jumps over the wall. After that he found out what real delicious food was. Making stew is troublesome and time-consuming, so can only be provided once a week. No matter how busy he was at work, he would come early every Monday. However, something unexpected happened today. He was late to pick up someone and now he was turned away to get in this store.
But Haruna had a childish face, a pair of big clear eyes, and a cute smile on her face. Yutaka was an adult, so he really couldn't get angry with her. He endured it and made a gesture with his hand: "Where is that short waiter? Let me have a talk with her."
Yutaka was very generous and gave a lot of tips. He was a high-quality customer. As long as he came, Haruka, who was greedy for money, would stuff him in the store no matter what. Now that he was refused by Haruna, he thought of that girl.
Haruna shook her head: "She was dying and lying in bed."
Yutaka's eyes suddenly opened wide. She was fine when he had been here a few days ago, but now her life was in danger? Was there a car accident? Was she so unlucky?
He didn't know what to say for a moment, but his female companion beside him asked softly: "Yutaka, do you have to eat here?"
Both of us are very busy at work and it's a rare date, why do you come to an izakaya? What's romantic astomphere about a place like this?
Yutaka took a deep breath, turned around and said firmly: "We must eat here!" After a pause, he added in a softer voice: "Masami, the taste here is really special. I hope to give you the best."
Masami was his girlfriend, whose full name is Masami Iizumi. She was his junior in college. After graduation, he worked in a bank but they never stopped dating and their relationship was quite good. However, Masami worked in a TV station and became a director's assistant, while he was busy with work as a newcomer, so they couldn't date at any time and had to pick a time when both of them were free, but this kind of time was hard to find.
They didn't get along with each other for more than before and Yutaka felt that their relationship was diluted a little. He specially brought his girlfriend here today, just to deepen the relationship through delicious food!
Masami looked at Haruna who looked like a door god, saying unhappily: "But I'm hungry, and we're going to watch a movie later!" She turned around and pointed diagonally across: "If you insist on having a drink, how about we go to that one?"
The one opposite at least lookS a bit classy and its appearance Is ten times better than here. It doesn't matter if you don't book a restaurant in advance for your date, BUT you can't stand outside the store and wait with your boyfriend. You are becoming more and more perfunctory!
Yutaka looked at the KEC opposite, at the Pure House, and then at his girlfriend who was a little unhappy. He planned to come to Haruka next time to protest about not being able to book seats in advance. He finally said helplessly: "Let's go."
He took Masami's hand and walked towards the opposite side. Haruna was ordered to guard the door so she didn't care about the loss of customers. She bowed according to the way taught by Haruka: "We're really sorry. Wish you can come again next time!"
Yutaka and Masami arrived at KEC's izakaya and found that the place was large and there were plenty of seats, but the large place made it seem that there were very few diners. However, this restaurant was having an event and they gave away a new taste of miso pork soup when ordering, and the waiters were super enthusiastic.
Masami took the menu and looked at it carefully, while Yutaka casually ordered a set meal and sat there in a daze. He still couldn't forget the delicious taste of the Pure Flavor House, and more importantly, the joy that came from the bottom of his heart after eating it. Ever since he entered that store, he always felt that something was missing when eating anything else to fill his stomach.
He absent-mindedly discussed with his girlfriend what to order. After ordering, the waiters served the food very quickly. Masami looked at them and smiled: "It looks pretty good." Not to mention the taste, at least the presentation of the food was quite beautiful.
They were going on a date soon, so they didn't order much wine, and the meals were set meals just to fill their stomachs. Masami Iizumi took a sip of pork miso soup gracefully, looking somewhat satisfied, while Yutaka took a sip and spit it back rudely, frowning and looking at the bowl in front of him.
It was not that it tastes bad, it just tasted so-so. It's just that you prepare to have a good meal in the morning but have a normal one in the evening. This comparison has a huge psychological gap.
Masami looked at her boyfriend in surprise. In her impression, her boyfriend was always educated and polite. She immediately watched the soup, and then at the soup opposite. What was he losing his temper about? He picked a small shabby shop to deal with me first, and now he vomited the soup? Is this expressing dissatisfaction with me? Is he tired of me? Already tired and no longer in love?
She suddenly became cautious. After all, they had been in a relationship for four or five years. She wouldn't want to break up. She put away her girlish temper and asked softly, "Yutaka, what's wrong with you?"
Yutaka stood up suddenly, took out his wallet and dropped a banknote, grabbed his girlfriend's hand and ran out: "We don't eat here!"
Masami didn't know why, and she was dragged away by her boyfriend just before she could pick up her bag. She felt very strange, but as soon as they ran to the door, the foreman caught up and asked anxiously: "Guest, do you have any dissatisfied?"
Why did they run away without even eating after ordering the meal?
Yutaka said casually: "It has nothing to do with you, it's just my personal reasons." After saying that, he dragged his girlfriend to the other side of the street and lined up at the door.
The foreman kept watching them run there, then looked back at the sparse customers in his store, where was no booming atmosphere at all. After thinking about it, he turned around and went to find the manager. They can't go on like this!
Masami didn't know why her boyfriend was so crazy. They waited for more than half an hour before it was their turn. At this time, she was already unhappy. She couldn't bear it anymore: "Yutaka, what are you doing? Don't you want to date me anymore? Don't you have feelings for me..."
Halfway through her words, her boyfriend pulled her into the store. She was immediately stunned by the strong aroma that hit her nose and couldn't speak any more.
Yutaka also took a deep breath and smiled at her: "This kind of stew is only available one day a week, so I have to eat it here today. I'm sorry, Masami, I think it's worth waiting for a while!"
Masami swallowed hard and didn't pay attention to what her boyfriend said. She just said absently: "It smells so good!"
Haruna led them to their seats, sniffed it like them and agreed: "It does smell good!"
Kazuya wasn't so stingy as Haruka. He would share some with everyone every time he made it, but they were for sale after all, so he couldn't just let Haruna take out bowl after bowl with a big spoon to eat it endlessly. Her appetite could eat at least haf of the jar.
But after Haruna tasted it, she still felt upset. Eating only a small bowl at a time was not satisfying at all. It would be great if one day she could hold that jar and eat happily however much she wanted, then her life would be no regret.
Alas! Maybe there will be a chance after getting married. After all, they haven't married yet and Kazuya cannot always give her good food.
